Li Muri, a prehistoric necropolis, only about 1 km northwest of Bronze age Li Lolghi (see previous uploads) is even older. It is late Neolithic, dated to 3.500 - 2.700 BC. ascribable to the Arzachena culture, that left structures like Li Muri on the islands of Sardinia and Corsica. Li Muri is composed by five stone cists, four of which are surrounded by circles of small slabs, that probably once hold a heap of small stones and earth covering the cists (about 5000 years ago). Menhirs stand upright a little outside the circles.

Li Lolghi is a prehistoric gallery grave, erected during the Bronze Age by the Nuragic civilization. These graves are called "Tombe dei giganti" (= "Giants' graves"). Hundreds of them have been found on the island of Sardinia, all dated to 2.200-1.600 BC. Li Lolghi is 27 meters long - and the central stone (here seen from the back) is about 4 meters high.
